Deadly to Love Read Online Free PDF Page B

exciting day; there was a big fight between some of the girls in my year over a guy who according to Chloe, wasn’t that hot anyway. I also missed the announcement about where the end of year dance was being held, and Ian trying to recover some of his pride by telling everyone that he dumped me and not the other way round. Overall I was glad to have missed it, and I didn’t care what Ian was spreading because there were a lot of witnesses to our breakup, he was only making a fool out of himself.
    When we got off the bus my mood only seemed to get better, besides Ian not one person had focused on me. They all seemed to be more interested in him. I hoped that I would be able to just blend in again but that wasn’t likely when my friends came running up to me all talking over the top of each other about how unbearable Chloe had been yesterday.
    “So who’s the guy that’s put you in a good mood?” Lindsey asked, pushy as usual.
    “What guy? I only just broke up with Ian,” I replied, feeling the heat in my cheeks as they turned an unnatural shade of red with embarrassment as I thought of Kai.
    “Oh my god I can’t believe I didn’t see it. I’m so stupid. The only other time you’ve been this happy was when you first started dating Ian so don’t bother denying it Rea, it’s obvious,” Chloe looked slightly disheartened that the others had been able to pick up on this gossip first.
    “There isn’t a guy OK,” I sighed, as I wished my cheeks would stop turning a brighter shade of red than they already were, giving them a clear signal I was lying.
    Thankfully lessons were about to start so they let the issue drop but before they all left Chloe shouted back at me.
    “You better spill at lunch Rea!”
    I knew they would get it out of me at some point but at that moment I liked that it was just something I knew. As soon as I told them, they would want details and I wasn’t ready to give them yet.
    After third lesson I was headed towards the cafeteria when I remembered I no longer had to stay on campus when I didn’t have a lesson. My mind was already made up so instead of going to eat with my friends I walked out the front door, and towards the internet café that was at the end of the street.
    Ordering a hot chocolate and a chicken salad wrap I moved towards the soft, leather chairs that were against the window to eat. I pulled out a book and began to read while I ate, that was until my phone started buzzing with incoming texts. I guessed they were from Chloe, who had probably noticed my missing presence by now.
    Pulling out my phone I found to no surprise I was right, a list of messages appeared on my screen all in capitals, demanding to know where I was and why I wasn’t telling them my news. I knew I’d pay for it tomorrow but didn’t really care, I put my phone away and continued to read until it was time for me to head to my last lesson.
    Once again photography flew by and I thought that I had made it through the day until Chloe appeared at my side when I exited the class.
    “So where were you at lunch? Did it have something to do with this new guy?”
    She bombarded me with questions as we walked.
    “No I just went to the café down the road
on my own
. I forgot my lunch and don’t like the food here.” I lied, emphasising the part about being on my own in an over the top manner, stressing the words. We continued to walk down the hall when Chloe stopped and turned into the changing rooms, obviously thinking I was following but when she poked her head back around the door she looked more than confused.
    “Aren’t you coming to practice?” She asked as I mentally berated myself for forgetting about netball practice.
    “Yeah, sorry I forgot, I still thought it was Tuesday because of the day I had off,” I said as I hurried into the changing room to change into my kit before heading up to the courts.
    It felt good to be out in the open, running around again; most of the other girls on the team were
